Don't forget Burns Night this Sunday

I bought my haggis today in preparation for the celebrations on Sunday (click on the picture for a link to the makers Macsween). We'll serve it with mashed potatoes and mashed swede, all made with lots of cream, butter and a pinch of salt and pepper. I spent my early years growing up in the North East where we called swede turnip and I understand it's called rutabaga in the US. How to confuse people...

Hi Amanda,I went to a Burn's night at my friends house the other year and we had the traditional menu. it was a great night.Haven't been over for a while so Happy New Year To you and Your family.Kind regardsSara from farmingfriends

We got ourselves a babysitter and are going to a party that night. If they have haggis I will try it. I've never been served it before. Otherwise I will be baking shortbread or oatcakes for The Monster during the day. Thanks for the links.

Kitchen Travels with Little Foodies

We're still learning about different countries around the world and their foods (mainly from our own kitchen, though if we can sneak in a few holidays to taste the real thing then we will and do). We're doing this because we want our children to be aware of other cultures and to have adventurous palates. We started with Morocco, where to next... If you have any ideas or tips that we would find useful on our culinary travels, then please do leave us a comment or e-mail me at littlefoodies (aT) gmail (DoT) com. Of course there will still be the normal ramblings... Thank you for reading.
